I don't disagree that that sounds logical. But if that were the case, shouldn't it show up in the statistics? Meaning that over time, DL's flight cancellation / delay rates should be meaningfully worse than the other big US network carriers with hub structures, namely UA and AA (to compare apples to apples), but I don't think that is the case.
